5. Dress and Grooming Highlights
“The District’s dress code is reflective of community standards and is established to promote school-appropriate attire, prevent disruption, and minimize safety hazard.”
Hair should be clean and neatly groomed, not covering the eyes or styled in a way that is distracting to the learning environment.
Clothing that does not adequately cover the body or that has tears or rips that are higher than mid-thigh, such as:
i. Low cut, see-through, spaghetti straps or backless dresses, or other revealing tops. *Midriffs are to be covered.
ii. Sleeveless shirts for boys.
iii. Baggy/oversized pants or pants that hang on the hipbone, or unhemmed shorts.
iv. Shorts, skirts, or split skirts shorter than mid-thigh in length. *Leggings worn under skirts or shorts do not alter this regulation.
Parent(s) will be contacted if a student’s dress or grooming is not in accordance with district policy.
